When Egyptians prepared their famous mummies, the main organs were removed and stored in canopic jars. Each had their own god to guard the contents.
With these easy-to-use templates, have fun creating your very own canopic jars!
They're also suitable for storing non-organic matter, like hair clips.
When studying Ancient Egypt, it is inevitable to discuss how mummies were made.
This poster provides a clear overview of the function and purpose of gods guarding the canopic jars.
These 3-Part Classified Cards consist of 6 pictures, labels and text cards as well as one control booklet clearly showing symbols used in Ancient Egypt:
Ankh, amenta, eye of Ra, feather of Ma'at, scarab, lotus
Print on cardstock, cut on black lines, fold on grey ones and laminate. If you want to include the cursive label (D'Nealian), just fold in the middle so it's back to back.
These cards can be used as flashcards or matching cards for more individually paced learning. For younger children, print two sets of the pictures and leave the labels attached on one - the children can then use those as control cards to match the loose labels. For early readers, match labels to pictures and use control booklet to check and discuss work. For older children, match labels and text to pictures.

Easy-to-use, this moveable alphabet just needs to be printed, laminated and cut. I suggest printing each page twice.
It includes 2.5cm square letter tiles of all the English letters in lower case (print and cursive). Vowels and consonants are different colours for quick distinguishing.
Enable children to express their thoughts without having to worry about holding a pencil or making mistakes!
This PDF poster contains high-quality animal graphics for each letter of the English alphabet. The initial sound is purely phonetic.
Because children love to learn new words, some unusual or rather unknown animals are included. This offers endless opportunities for group or individual discussions as well as cross-curricular and extended learning.
I recommend Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF. In the print dialogue, choose "Print as Poster" and find the size that is right for you.
Response chains are ways we interact with the world. An event triggers a thought, which triggers an action, which results in a consequence.
Children benefit from learning to identify their emotions and resulting actions.
This resource consists of picture-and-text cards that are arranged in response chains. This way, the child learns relevant vocabulary, is exposed to examples of typical response chains (two positive and two negative chains) and, if they can read, has the change to fill out the included worksheet to identify a response chain of their own.
The worksheet also includes a part on improving response chains to avoid negative behaviour in the future.
